Knight Rider

Anybody watch this the other night? I just watched it on my DVR, hence the reason I didn't bring it up until now...

It was god awful. I guess I don't know what I should have expected after that crappy TV movie last spring, but I thought I had read that they had different writers and producers for the series than they had for the movie. If that's true, it didn't help at all. I won't be watching again. I'd be amazed if this show makes it past mid-season.

Re: Knight Rider

Dang. I've got it on DVR and will probably watch it, but I was hoping for more because Knight Rider was my favorite show as a kid, and I thought the movie last spring was ok. I guess that's what they get for switching to a Mustang.

That is the only thing the show has going for it.

Re: Knight Rider

Back in the 80's a talking car was a rather far fetched idea. Now, it is a reality. doesn't make for a great show.
And when we have cars that change into walking, talking robots, then Transformers will lose it's appeal as well.

Ok, I'm glad you added that Transformers part so I can tell you're kidding Cars with pre-recorded voice prompts and speech software in GPS units have nothing on William Daniels, I mean KITT, who could actually carry on a conversation. Not to mention a molecular bondage shell, turbo boost, super pursuit mode, and all those other cool buttons. Oh, and I think it drove itself, but that's not impressive anymore either, thanks to Lexus.

Re: Knight Rider

The Mustang? Please. I don't want to turn this into a Ford/Chevy debate and get it moved to the political cave (kidding) but KITT is a Trans-****ing-Am and making him a Mustang is blasphemy.

I'm pretty sure the Hoff did show up at the end of the 2 hour movie last spring, so I just assumed he would still be in it.

Wouldn't that make it a Ford/Pontiac battle?

Re: Knight Rider

Ok, I've forced myself through 2.25 episodes, and midway through the third episode, KITT got blasted by a rocket off a beach in Mexico, and landed in the ocean. Mike and some girl were in KITT underwater and I stopped it before they (I assume) transformed to "submarine mode" and drove off. I deleted the episode from my DVR, deleted the next week's episode that I had saved, and cancelled the planned recording of this week's episode (I was a little behind). I am very, very disappointed that this sucks so much, I loved Knight Rider so much as a kid I was really hoping this would be worth watching. But it's not, so for the next couple weeks (until the show gets cancelled) Knight Rider will catch my eye every time I am looking through my guide, and I will skip right past it. Shame on you, whoever is responsible for this absolute crap.
